The concept of the desk is a good one. The price is fair. The assembly could not be done... Ive built a lot of furniture in my life... and while all the parts were there, and the instructions were clear as a bell, the materials just dont work. The desk surface and shelves are particle board, and the screws are so large that the board integrity is compromised. Additionally, if you sneeze near them, the screws will strip. The kit provides a small Allen wrench , and there is no reason that a good drill with an Allen bit on slow and controlled movement should be able to spare your joints ( and the arthritis in my hands ) l, but the hardware was not strong enough.
My husband and I have arranged a return through and gone to IKEA because the quality and performance is exceedingly higher for the exact same cost.
I wont tell you what to do, but I will suggest you think about hat you have purchased before and keep that in the equation.
Think carefully about this one.
